Yahoo Autos What’s Next after Murray’s T.50?
The T.50 is going to be the first car from Gordon Murray Automotive, but it won’t be the last. Plans are already advancing to build a succession of other models.
The second of these fills an obvious niche: a track-only version of the T.50. Murray confirms this will have fixed wings in addition to the road car’s 48-volt electric fan and will be able to make up to three times as much downforce as its street-legal sibling. Murray also says it will weigh just 1,962 pounds and have a sequential gearbox in place of the regular T.50’s six-speed manual. Murray is only building 25 cars.
Beyond that GMA is intent on creating a series of other models. “We’re building a company, not just a car,” Murray told Autoweek—with GMA opening a new factory at Dunsfold in Surrey, England (also home of the Top Gear TV show test track), so he’ll have a facility able to produce around 100 cars a year.
